Rothrock makes the movie....and Kurt McKinney breaks it

Cynthia Rothrock's acting is no great shakes, but it's OK for the genre, plus she is exciting to watch in her fight scenes (some of which are top-notch, especially the first one and a later confrontation with an Oriental guy), plus she's got a knockout body. The main problem with this movie is her co-star, Kurt McKinney; not only is he a very bad actor, but also too much time is devoted to their unbearably cheesy "romance", and at the end HE also gets to fight most of the villains!. As if we rented this to see a no-name moron in the fight scenes instead of Cynthia Rothrock. The film has many ridiculous moments (the lesbian love confession is perhaps the prime one), and Cynthia's "psychic powers" are little more than a convenience for the (purposeless) plot. One good line: a killer/rapist/burglar gets his a** kicked by Rothrock, returns to his apartment and says "The streets are not safe anymore!" (**)
